3.5 stars. I've been thinking about this review for awhile and truthfully someone else has already said it better, so I'll copy their (@Michalyn's) review here.
"Wow, this book took me on a roller-coaster ride. I couldn't decide if I loved it or hated it and it seemed like every few pages I'd go from thinking Gilbert was delightfully witty to thinking this was the most horribly self-absorbed person to ever set foot on the earth.
In the end the overall effect was rather like sitting at a party listening to someone tell a long involved story all about themselves, and you're alternately annoyed and fascinated and you want to get up and leave but she's just so entertaining that you keep telling yourself you'll leave in the next minute--and so you end up sticking through the whole thing." - Michalyn
Back to Eve: You know how when someone comes back from study abroad, you're simultaneously interested in the idea of their travels, but exhausted by THEM recounting the travels because they somehow come back thinking they're the most worldly, enlightened person on Earth? Yeah, that's Elizabeth Gilbert. And she studied abroad in THREE places. And she studied language and theology/philosophy/spirituality, so to speak, so you know she's extra annoying. (I say this as a fellow annoying person.)
